### Avatar 2 was a fantastic piece of liberal hollywood universal studios tour ride nonsense. It was every single left leaning American trope from the past decade fisted into 3+ hours of formulaic James Cameron CGI. In lieu of reviewing it I’d like to instead highlight my favorite virtue signals referenced in appreciation of just how well JC canvassed #America2023.

The List
--------

Old Colonel-turned-Na’vi leans into American Indian racist rhetoric with impunity. No non-white “villain” humans. _White-American Bigotry ✅_

“I’ll get you his scalp.”

**Gay fish bromance.** _LGBTQ Demographic ✅_

“I know how you feel. I feel alone too. Outcast.”

One single Asian woman who was conveniently part of the whale hunting squad (along with the harpoon having the Japanese characters 日浦 on it). _Anti-Asian Jab ✅_

(ngl it almost made me appreciate the sport of the hunt)

Nearly-nude white kid with dreads feeling misunderstood because he feels more Na’vi than human. _Eminem 8-Mile Demographic ✅_

!["Some of my best friends are Na'vi"](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/2e3b586db46ac19f5f0dbd4a4be617cdf72237836c7005467ab3e2ae58c4166c.jpg)

"Some of my best friends are Na'vi"

Cross-species pregnant mother heart-to-heart to hammer home the togetherness of women around the world universe?. Edie Falcon Cameo. Susan Sarandon Cameo. _White Women Guilt Assuaged_ ✅

!["Our existence on this Earth is a puzzle."](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/ab286cc88aee6bce2c1108c17cddfdd5c611f5260dc20c891fbd63869c003393.webp)

"Our existence on this Earth is a puzzle."

Prayer saves the day. Soft return to mainstream appreciation for “faith” post-COVID. Girl has seizure, modern medicine failed but (non-denominational) faith is ([ecumenical? universal?](https://g.co/kgs/jnAHcV)). _God ✅_

Other than that the colors were great and the action was solid enough.

Rating: 4 out of 5
